The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

But there was no way. If she was really asked to act out Dudley's violent personality, she wouldn't be able to do it.

Although she claimed to have a bad temper in her previous life, she couldn't even imagine beating up her relatives at will.

Fortunately, Dolly had already thought of a reason.

I folded my arms like I remembered myself, and said with an adult face, "Dad, Mom, I'm 11 years old."

"They said on TV that an 11-year-old is already half an adult. From today on, I will hold myself to the standards of an adult."

After hearing Dolly's words, Vernon and Petunia looked at each other.

Then they looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The child has grown up!

They also know that their child's personality is not very stable, but she is just a child in the past, and there will always be a day when she grows up and becomes a better person.

The two were even prepared to accompany their hot-tempered daughter until she became an adult, but they didn't expect that she would grow up at the age of 11.

This is really...

Penny had tears in her eyes and was about to say something.

Vernon quickly pulled his wife's arm and winked at her.

Although the two people are negative characters full of shortcomings in the original plot.

However, the two of them had a sincere love. Even when Vernon knew that Petunia's sister was a witch, it did not waver in his determination to pursue Petunia.

This has allowed the two of them to support each other until now, and they have an extraordinary tacit understanding with each other.

Penny immediately understood what her husband meant: her daughter might only be enthusiastic for a short period of time, so it would be better not to show too much excitement and expectation.

So Petunia quickly wiped her tears, took her daughter's arm, and said, "Okay, our little adult, Miss Dolly."

"Let's celebrate your birthday like an adult today. Your father and I will always be with you."

Vernon nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "That's right, that's it. A grown-up's day starts with a good breakfast!"

Ran, Vernon, and Petunia each held one of Dolly's hands, and the three of them walked down the stairs while chatting and laughing.

The cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end when a boy wearing glasses and tattered clothes appeared.

He is like a stranger appearing in a family, always able to kill the atmosphere in an instant.

The lightning scar on the forehead seemed to be telling Petunia and Vernon in a silent way.

They have a witch relative, and Harry may also be a wizard. In the future, he may attract demons from the wizarding world and bring about a murderous disaster.

Especially on Dolly's birthday, Petunia and Vernon's moods became visibly worse.

The best evidence is that both of them squeezed Dolly's hand and hurt it at the same time.

"Harry!"

Vernon called out unconsciously, "What did I tell you yesterday?"

"You can't leave your room today or you'll disturb Dolly's birthday. Can't you remember that?"

"Do you have to pull your ears and throw you back before you understand what I mean?"

"You promised me, you promised me, I even promised to save you cake!"

"Even so, you still want to break your promise and disturb our family, right?"

Vernon's face was already flushed with fear and anger, and Harry's face was also visibly red.

Obviously, it was because of anger.

Anger is an emotion that has nothing to do with age, even for Harry, who has been bullied since childhood.

So Harry clenched his fists, then suppressed his anger and said, "Sir, Dolly just fell off the bed."

"It shook the floor and filled my room with dust. I just came out and got a broom to clean it up."

"Now that I'm done cleaning, I'm heading back to my room and I promise I won't come out again today."

Harry's words were reasonable, but he mentioned Dolly.

Especially putting the blame on Dolly, this was a result that Vernon could not tolerate.

04 Accept Harry's advice

"Sophistry, lies, nonsense!"

Vernon released his daughter's hand and strode down the stairs like a brown bear swooping down from a tree.

Harry instinctively wanted to run away, but Vernon grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

Then Vernon shook Harry around like he was shaking clothes.

When Harry started to roll his eyes because of disgust, he put Harry down and pointed at his nose and said, "Today is Dolly's birthday!"

"You, no matter what your reason is, cannot disturb our family!"

"Got it, Harry?"

"You can act up normally, but not today. I mean absolutely not!"

"Use your silly little brain to understand the word 'absolute' and answer me now. Can you do it?"

Harry's slight anger had long been thrown away.

He covered his dizzy forehead and whispered, "I understand, sir, I will never disturb you."

"I can't hear you, speak louder!"

"Absolutely, sir! I'll go back to my room right now and absolutely not make any noise!"

By this time, Harry was already crying.

Vernon ignored this and waved his hand, pointing to Harry's room - actually the storage room under the stairs.

Harry then took difficult steps and walked towards the door of the storage room.

Seeing all this, Penny finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched her daughter's hair.

It seemed that he was trying to comfort Dolly and tell her not to be frightened by her father's rage.

Little did they know that their daughter Dolly was speechless.

Although Vernon didn't hit or curse anyone just now.

In Dolly's opinion, this was not a severe punishment.

But Harry has lived in such an environment since he was a child. The long-term cold violence and soft violence are much more serious than the occasional corporal punishment.

What's more, it was Dolly who fell off the bed just now. Harry was probably not lying, but he still suffered punishment.

In other words, Harry's temper has been tamed a lot now. If it were Dolly, she would probably have to fight Vernon for three minutes.

Even if the result is being hung up and beaten, you still have to express your anger.

Of course, with Dolly's current status, she has no right to blame Vernon and Petunia's behavior.

Their attitude is really bad.

But they also raised a newborn baby to the age of 11 without any inheritance.

Especially since the other party is a witch's daughter and may be hunted by dangerous wizards at any time, this responsibility is much heavier than raising an orphan.

On the other hand, although Harry was thin and could only wear old clothes and use old stationery, he did not fall behind in health and study.

Anyone who has raised or been in contact with infants for a long time knows how difficult it is.

Now that Harry can take care of himself, living in the utility room seems pitiful.

But when Harry was still an infant and couldn't take care of himself, who was responsible for his food and daily life?

It could only be the Dursleys.

Even if there are subsidies for raising children in the UK, they can offset part of the tax burden.

But the energy required to raise a child is far beyond what that little money can buy.

What's more, the Dursleys are not short of money. Although Vernon Dursley is out of shape, he is a real company executive and a high-end middle-class British family.

There is even less reason for such a family to take on the responsibility of raising a child just for a little financial subsidy.

In other words, raising Harry was itself a manifestation of their responsibility.

As for the rest, such as personality, Dolly can only say that no one is perfect.

Besides, she was only an 11-year-old child. She couldn't lecture her parents and ask them to really treat Harry as their own flesh and blood.

This is exactly what is worrying Dolly now.

She wanted to show her charm in front of Harry, but Vernon showed him what cold violence was.

Just as Harry was about to disappear from her sight, Dolly saw Harry look up at her.

Although his eyes narrowed slightly, the anger and dissatisfaction in them could not be hidden.

After all, Harry was a natural Gryffindor, and it was almost impossible to make him completely submit.

What's more, it won't be long before Harry enters Hogwarts and becomes a wizard.

All this forced Dolly to make a change.

But there is no rush on this matter. She must find a way to strike a balance between showing her charm and getting her parents to accept Harry.

This was not something she could do on her own. After all, Vernon was still the head of the family, and she was just a little kid after all.

Soon, the three of them sat around the dining table.

The atmosphere returned to the state of talking and laughing just now. Looking at the mountain of food on the table, Dolly instinctively felt a little nauseous.

Even though she was really hungry, her eating habits from her previous life remained.

It would be fine to supplement some high-quality protein and carbohydrates for breakfast, but which good kid would stuff bacon and sausages into his stomach?

Seeing that Dolly had no appetite, Vernon and Petunia's faces turned grim again.

Vernon even comforted Dolly, saying, "Child, don't think about that guy."

"We've prepared generous gifts for you, and you're going to have a party tonight. It's a wonderful day, isn't it!"

"Yes, Dolly, let's eat and then go open the presents. You will be very happy."

Penny agreed, and handed Dolly a large pile of meat products and potato pancakes soaked in honey.

Dolly finally spoke with some difficulty, saying, "Dad, Mom."

“Actually, I want to lose weight.”

Vernon and Petunia's expressions changed, and they looked at Dolly as if she were an alien.

Vernon asked nervously, "Kid, did anyone tell you something?"

"You are not fat at all, but you have your own beauty!"

"Look at me, don't I also have your mother's love? Be more confident and don't care about other people's eyes!"

Penny also quickly said: "Is it because the clothes are not suitable? I will take you to buy some new ones later."

Dolly quickly shook her head, trying to think of a reason.

Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Dad, you misunderstood."

"I just feel like I need to learn from my mom and be a perfect woman like her."

"Dad, you are also very handsome. I wanted to learn from you in the past. But you are a man after all, and I am a girl."

This statement is absolutely impeccable.

At the age of 11, coupled with the newly awakened gender awareness, and the recognition and love of both parents, Vernon and Petunia suddenly felt like they were drunk.

Vernon looked at his wife beside him and said with admiration, "Yes, Dolly, you are absolutely right."

"My wife is the most beautiful woman. You should really learn from her!"
